Taylored Expressions Previews: Day Three!

Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday!! Today is the 3rd day of previews for the latest release from Taylored Expressions, which will be released tomorrow!

There is SO much on the menu today, so let's get started!

Today, The Baker's Dozen are sharing peeks of SO many new sets and Taylored Dies, AND a new line of stamps that you are going to L.O.V.E. love!

My first card today features the AMAZING It's In The Bag stamp set! This set was concepted and illustrated by Nancy McKinney for the Whimsical Wishes line at Taylored Expressions and is a set of 27 images on a 5.75" x 8.5" full color sturdy storage panel. Just like all of the stamps from Taylored Expressions, these are deeply etched rubber on EZ Mount - already trimmed and ready to use.

This set is SO perfect for making little shopping bags/tote bags for any occassion, and the coordinating Shopping Bag and Labels Taylored Die makes it even easier!! This is SO much fun to use...check out the bag I created and attached to my card!! I LOVE it! The little labels totally finish off the look!

I chose to use the sentiment, "Something Special Just For You" and I created a little flag tag to highlight it. A silver brad in each corner completes the look! This would be SUCH a fun way to present a money gift, a little love note, candy, etc...! The possibilities are limitless!

Here are the Taylored Dies I've used on this card:

My second card today features the darling new Summer Wreath Petite Stamp set! This set is 4th in the Seasonal Wreath series which was concepted by Jami Sibley and illustrated by Nancy McKinney. Like all of the wreath sets previously released, this wreath is perfectly coordinated with the Seasonal Wreath Die!

This set comes on a 3" x 5.5" full color sturdy storage panel and includes 9 images including the wreath, 3 butterflies and 5 mix and match sentiments. I also used the newly released Labels of Love set along with the Ribbon Tags Trio 3 coordinating Spellbinders Dies.

All of the patterned paper is Emma's Shoppe from Crate Paper, and I sewed each layer on my sewing machine. The layout is this week's Mojo Monday Sketch, MOJO189, and I created the scalloped border with the Small Scallop Border Die. I stamped the frame from Labels of Love and cut it out with the Ribbon Tags Trio 3. I sponged it with Memento Angel Pink and then stamped the sentiment, "Sending You" in the center. I stregthened the pink color with Copic Markers. I attached this panel to the card with Baker's Twine and folded the other side over the edge of the card.

I added a butterfly cut with the Butterflies Die and added Taylor's Tiny Twinkles to the center for some sparkle. I finished off my sentiment by stamping "Sunny Smiles" directly onto the patterned paper. So fun!

Here are the Taylored Dies I've used on this card:

There is another FABULOUS new line being previewed by some of the members of the Baker's Dozen today, the Moka Petite Collection. We are starting with TWO darling new Moka sets, which are concepted and illustrated by Nancy McKinney. I am seriously IN LOVE with these girls, and can't wait to see what is to come in the future with this new collection! I have plenty to share with you using these girls later on this month!

In the meantime, please head on over and check out what the rest of the Baker's Dozen have cooked up for you today here:
